This is pretty cool.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

“I’m very fortunate to work with a passionate team of climatologists, ecologists and one guy named Mark who just fucking hates Americans,” said Keane.

Somehow it doesn’t feel like a new thing that Taco Bell is tied to an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.

Over at the Climate Brink I take a deep dive into climate and wildfires in Canada, and why complaints about Canadian forest management largely miss the mark as conditions rapidly have become more favorable for megafires: www.theclimatebrink....

Do you know about Purple Air? I have a friend who is a meteorologist with Environment Canada and he recommended using it because of how inconsistent Environment Canada can be. map.purpleair.com/air-quality-...

Gentle reminder that good active transportation infrastructure is actually completely compatible with universal design and makes mobility easier for all levels of dis/ability.

Would love to see this level of concern for disabled non-drivers whose mobility is limited by lack and poor quality of public and active transport. There's quite a lot of us but drivers tend not to be all that interested in us for some reason.

Achieving new frontiers of stupidity never before imagined.

Among the many embarrassing things of the Trump administration is the stupidity of key ambassadors. Between this and Hoekstra, the US really isn’t putting its best face forward internationally. www.ewtnnews.com/vatican/vati...

Echoes of “Christ the Heart of Creation” here in Williams’ new Solidarity book.

The road to climate disaster is lined with billionaires and politicians telling you to calm down as they profit from pollution and pillaging the Earth.

Been really vibing with Brodovsky’s new album. music.apple.com/ca/album/tel...

you get the feeling the US in particular is probably going to be even more laggart on climate change even post-Trump under a Dem given that in terms of diet, land use, and transportation mode, people basically cling to the worst mode of suburban planning as ideal

Amazing that a company whose main product doesn’t work was ever worth that much money to begin with. www.businessinsider.com/spacex-stock...

Good work everyone! We can get it lower though.

I know the US doesn’t really have laws but surely this has to be a bridge too far even for that country.

QT’s are off but I just wanted to say I feel this in my bones. We installed solar panels a couple years ago because I had some vague sense that maybe the grid would need some help with all these new EVs. Then the data centres came and just completely overwhelmed production.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Enjoy lungs that feel like they’re full of gravel then, I guess.

Watched the Odyssey tonight. Really enjoyed it!

Facing criticism over firefighting budget, Ford says the province will spare no expense to keep Ontario safe, vows to build as many jails as needed to keep fire contained.

My timeline.

Forget last year, there are Canadians currently dying while helping fight forest fires in the states.

Maybe they could build a wall to keep the smoke out. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

50% net smoke. We get to keep the gross smoke.

These people are so stupid.

When California burns we send firefighters. When Ontario burns, Americans do this.

And to think those of us in Manitoba thought it was an either/or between flooding or forest fire smoke.

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

My wife says I look like a hedgehog without my beard.

We're hiring a new Director of Community-Based Formation: not a conventional cont-ed role, but for someone who understands church is in significant transition, is energized by that reality & has imagination & experience to help communities discover what collaborative Christian ministry looks like

For what it’s worth, I think the period begins no earlier than 1453 and no later than 1492 and concludes somewhere around the turn of the 18th C, no earlier than 1662, no later than 1776.

“It’s not coming home.” Ironically, the English football reality and The British Museum’s slogan

*Whispers* “it’s not coming home”

Given that FIFA have been changing rules on a whim, I wonder if it’s still possible for both teams to lose?

Ah, of course Birmingham is on here.

Picking up where the Falklands left off.

Taking the @michaeldemoor.bsky.social approach.

Ok but who do we even cheer for in this situation?

I know this is an imprecise category to begin with but how do folks define “early modern”?

Theses on academic job applications 1) American applications are needlessly long and convoluted compared to other countries 2) The lower the pay/shorter the term, the more convoluted the application 3) All postings should very clearly indicate whether visa sponsorship is available

This morning's idle bike-riding ponderings were a contemplation of the differences and similarities between "you can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools" & "they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks." Not really sure what to make of it all.

I have a little essay on Barth and Mennonites in here, if anyone’s interested.
